Babbs Green, Hertfordshire, former church. © Bill McKenzie. Janet Gimber advises that this was Wesleyan Methodist.
Babcary, Somerset, Holy Cross, on Church Street. Its grade II* listing advises of a Saxon foundation. ST 5614 2878. A number of churchyard monuments have separate listings - they can be found here. The former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Main Street pre-dates a map of 1886, and it went out of use in 1965 or soon after (source). The same source also suggests that the part of the chapel furthest from the camera in Chris's photo may be of a chapel noted in 1811, with the rest of it from a later enlargement. ST 5636 2870.

Badcaul, Highland. Howard Richter advises of 2 churches hereabouts. The Church of Scotland is active, and stands at NH 0190 9194. A study of old maps shows that it was a United Free Church in 1906. It can be see here on Streetview in 2010, with an old whitewashed schoolroom to the left, and to its right the church, and the manse with purple woodwork beyond. There is also a former Free Church - a tin tabernacle - at NH 0185 9200. Shown on Streetview here, in 2010. Some interior photos are available here.

Baddiley, Cheshire, St. Michael. An unusual building, Chris explains:- "As is quite usual, the responsibility for repair of the chancel and nave are quite separate, though not always as visually striking as this. (Background: The rector was responsible for the chancel, and the parish for the nave. Sometimes for historical reasons a particular house in a village inherits the responsibility for repair of the chancel. A recent case in the papers (Aston Cantlow v Warwick) concerned a house-owner who found herself landed with a hefty bill for repair of the chancel. Baddiley church is no different from other churches concerning respective responsibilities". See also the Hinderwell, North Yorkshire entry. The chancel is timber-framed. Normally closed, but open on Saturdays from April onwards. SJ 6051 5035. Both © Chris Emms (2010). Two additional views - 1, 2, both © Karel Kuča (2019). Link. Grade I listed.

Two additional views - 1, 2, another interior, the altar and the font, all © Chris Stafford (2013). Link. The 25" O.S. map of 1912 marks a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, at SE 4657 8057. It pre-dates a map of 1856, and appears to have still been active in 1956 when a map of that vintage labels it as Chap., at which time it was presumably Methodist. Seen here by the Streetview van in 2011, it's now called The Old Chapel, and presumably in residential use.

Baguley, Wythenshawe, Manchester, Greater Manchester - see Wythenshawe.
Bagworth, Leicestershire, the site of Holy Rood. The original medieval church was demolished in 1968 because of subsidence associated with coal mining. It was replaced by a concrete building, but also incorporating some of the old fabric. This too has since been demolished, and the churchyard still has some surviving walls. The photo shows what seems to be a Norman arch encased in the later concrete. © David Regan (2017). Link, which has illustrations and photos of both churches.

A former Primitive Methodist Chapel stands on West End (this was previously also part of Dead Lane, before it was bisected by the A614. It can be seen on a 2010 Streetview here. Its My Primitive Methodist entry dates it to 1837. SE 9631 5241. Old maps show that the village also had a Wesleyan Chapel, at SE 9631 5234. It pre-dates the 25" O.S. map of 1910, and was probably demolished to allow for the building of the Back Street access road, off the A614. It stood about where the road starts to curve to the right in this Streetview.

Baldersdale, Co. Durham, the former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, dating from 1861. It shows on mid-20th century maps to have still been active at that time presumably as Methodist), but has evidently since been converted to residential use - by 2022 (Streetview) it had a sign saying The Old Chapel. NY 9487 1942. © Steve Bruce. A map of 1893 shows a Chapel of Ease & School at NY 9465 1930. By the time of a 1912 map, it had become just School. It was a "Field Centre" in 2012, used by a Middlesbrough school (source). Exactly which of the group of buildings was the chapel is not apparent from the map, so here are two 2009 Streetviews - 1, 2.

Another Chapel is shown on Town Street, east of St. Giles. It stands at SK 8211 5159, and now serves as the library. It can be seen on a 2009 Streetview here. I haven't been able to confirm the denomination.

The Methodist Church (2010 Streetview) is on Chapel Street at SE 7788 4902. Older maps label it as Wesleyan. This un-dated source says the chapel is now closed, and dates it to 1869, successor to an earlier chapel of 1807. A map of 1854 shows it to have been on the same site. A little way further south on Chapel Street is/was a Primitive Methodist Chapel at SE 7787 4894, shown on a map of 1910.

Again, if there really were two chapels, their sites can be seen in one Streetview from 2008 - the later chapel might be the orange-painted house or is on its site, and the earlier chapel lies beneath the green wooden building.

Bawdsey, Suffolk, former chapel, now in secular use. This may have been the Wesleyan Chapel as mentioned on Genuki. © Iris Maeers. Howard Richter has confirmed that this was indeed the Wesleyan chapel, and further advises that it was founded (per Genuki) in 1886. It shows on the 1904 OS map at TM 346 405. It was preceded by an earlier Wesleyan nearby at TM 3466 4022. The earliest OS map is of 1881, and this chapel is shown on it. Probably it is the one mentioned in Lewis' 1831 Topographical Dictionary, but when it was founded is presently not known. This older chapel stood quite close to the present parish church, St. Mary (link, with photos). Howard quotes the grade II listing which says that the church was C14, but mostly re-built after 1842, when a fire started by a firework let off during a 5 November display launched from the church tower severely damaged the building.

It was closed in 1940, though was later used by a Methodist congregation until 1968, conversion following thereafter. NY 0929 4959. © Steve Bulman (2018).

Its predecessor was used as a Sunday School after the later one had been built, and it's since been demolished, but there's an old photo of it here, where there are also interior photos of the later chapel from before it was converted to residential use. There is a Sunday School marked on the 1900 6" map at SK 7783 8995, presumably the one under discussion, and housing now stands on the site, as can be seen here in a 2009 Streetview. © David Regan (2020). The same map shows another chapel on High Street, at SK 7811 8993. The Streetview van hasn't been past it, but there's a photo on Geograph, here, where it says it was a Primitive Methodist Chapel of 1836, closed between WW1 and WW2. In contrast, its My Primitive Methodists entry gives it dates of 1854-1935.

A map of 1854 shows three chapels, Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist, and Independent (later Congregational), all on the south side of Main Street. The latter stood at TA 1261 5403, and it's dated here to 1810, "closed by 1922", and "derelict in 1996". It has since been demolished, and housing built on its site - 2021 Streetview. The Primitive Methodist was at TA 1302 5418, and evidently considerably enlarged or re-built between the time of the maps of 1854 and 1910. Exterior and interior photos can  be seen here, where it's dated to 1842 or just before, closed in 1964, and semi-derelict in 2000. It has since gone, and been replaced by the housing seen by Streetview in 2011. The Wesleyan survives as the town's Methodist Church, at TA 1285 5412. It has a date-stone for 1866.

Another interior view (taken through a window), © Richard Roberts (2018). Another view, two more of the interior - 1, 2, and the defaced screen, all © Chris Stafford (2014). Link. Grade I listed. A United Free Methodist Chapel once stood on Chapel Lane (previously Gouch Lane), at TF 9082 1584. Pre-dating a map of 1906, its Genuki entry says it was "founded before 1886". It still shows on a map of 1955, but when it was closed is so far unknown. Its site was well hidden by vegetation when the Streetview van went by in 2008, but it was here, somewhere behind the trees on the right. Genuki also lists another chapel, a Wesleyan Reform Chapel, at TF 9103 1595, and it also provides dates of 1817 to "before 1906". Looking at a 25" map of 1906 this grid reference looks an unlikely place to have had a chapel, which, even if had been demolished at this time, should surely have had a road or path leading to its site, but it appears not to have.

Benton Square, Tyne & Wear, the long-demolished St. Aidan. Bill advises (in 2011) that it was demolished "over 60 years ago". The 1954 1" O.S. map indicates that the church stood on the western corner of a junction, but the side road itself has gone now. Although the church is commemorated by St. Aidan's Avenue, the church itself stood some little way to the south-west, and the site is now covered by trees, seen on the right in this 2019 Streetview. NZ 3001 7006. From Ron Maddox's Collection, and sent in by Bill Henderson. The former Primitive Methodist Chapel can be seen in a 2012 Streetview. It stands on today's Wesley Drive. Its My Primitive Methodists entry dates it to 1830. NZ 2990 7013. The Wesleyans were also represented locally, with a chapel at NZ 2988 7000. Between 1890 and 1897 it had been converted into (or replaced by) a reading room. Now demolished, its site is in this tree-covered area as seen on a 2018 Streetview of the Holystone Way/Whitley Road roundabout.

Birks, Cumbria. Two further views - 1, 2. This used to be a famous Sandemanian/Inghamite Chapel (there are transcribed records for 1754-1807). Subsequently Independent, it continued in use until 1836, but was described as "ruinous" in an 1851 directory. The recorded dates for the two sects overlap, so they may have shared the building, or the Independents may have had another building or room nearby, and later moved into the former Sandemanian chapel. Kevin Price, who has visited the building, says it is now used as a barn, and looking through a crack in the door, saw evidence of where the pulpit once was. He also advises that the font was eventually transferred to Kendal Inghamite Chapel in 1938. This short history composed from the researches of Howard Richter and Kevin Price. NY 719 151.

The Baptist Chapel is dated here to 1770-1954, and subsequently demolished. Its site was seen by Streetview in 2008. The building to its left is the surviving manse.
Bishop Middleham, Co. Durham, the 12th century St. Michael and All Angels, on Church Street. NZ 3279 3127. © Richard Roberts (2019). Link. Grade II* listed. For related listed features see here. The 25" O.S. map of 1942 shows a Meth. Church on The Park at NZ 3295 3144. It pre-dates a map of 1923 (labelled Chap.), it was apparently still active in 1953 (it shows on a 1" map of that year), and it closed before the 1961 map was revised. I haven't been able to discover what flavour of Methodism it was. The house on its site was seen by Streetview in 2024.

Carole advises that there were tentative plans for the Baptists to take over the building. ST 5872 5983.

Bishop Wilton, East Riding of Yorkshire, St. Edith. SE 7982 5521. © James Murray. Link. Grade I listed. There's an unusual listed feature in the churchyard, a Victorian lamp-post, at grade II. A map of 1854 shows Primitive and Wesleyan Methodist Chapels, both on Main Street. The converted Wesleyan survives, and has a date-stone calling the chapel Bethel, but I can't read the date on the 2009 Streetview. It's dated to 1810 here. The P.M. may survive as a shop - 2009 Streetview. It's dated here to 1838, replacing an earlier (un-located) chapel.
Bishop's Castle, Shropshire.
Bishop's Caundle, Dorset, St. Peter and St. Paul, or no dedication, according to source consulted. ST 6962 1316. © June Norris. Link. Grade I listed. A table tomb in the churchyard is also listed, as grade II. Older O.S. maps show a Primitive Methodist Chapel a little way east of the village at ST 7002 1307, pre-dating the 1887 map. In a 2015 Streetview, the chapel would have stood beside the nearer end of the house extending to the roadside. Does anything of it survive? It was succeeded in 1908 by a new chapel built a short distance away on the other side of the road. It survives and was seen by Streetview in 2009. ST 6997 1308. Link includes a comment that it was closed (presumably as Methodist) in 1983.
Bishop's Cleeve, Gloucestershire, St. Michael and All Angels. SO 9608 2774. © Les Needham (2013). Link. Grade I listed. A churchyard monument is also listed, as grade II. The Methodist Church is on Bishop's Close, and was seen by Streetview in 2024. SO 9611 2734. Link. Older maps show a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on School  Road at SO 9615 2781. Pre-dating a map of 1902, it's possibly older than a mapof 1884,as there is a buildingon the same site, with the same footprint, but it isn't labelled. Chapel  Cottage, stands on the site today (2024 Streetview). The former Cleeve Chapel (2023 Streetview) on Pecked Lane is labelled as a Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion Chapel (in 1902) and Chapel (Nonconformist) in 1884. SO 9617 2755. O.S. maps mark (somewhat vaguely, admittedly) a Chapel, the label in the script used for ancient buildings. In all cases though, the label is shown immediately north or north-west of Cleve Hall, one-time residence of the Bishops of Worcester. Cleve Hall can be seen in a Streetview from 2024. It's tempting to suggest that the extreme right (i.e. the north side) of the hall is the chapel, but the south side has an identical wing. Otherwise the chapel may be assumed to have gone, in which case it would have stood somewhere on the lawns to the right of the hall. The hall is grade II* listed, - the listing makes no mention of a chapel. Can you throw any light on this mystery?

It shows as Wesleyan on a map of 1890. It is possibly former, as it doesn't appear to have an on-line presence. Another view. Both © Chris Kippin (2022). The village also had a Bible Christian Chapel, seen by Streetview in 2010. It's called Trevett Memorial Bible Christian Chapel here, where it's dated to 1892-1933. SS 7587 2373. Grade II listed. Large scale O.S. maps mark Chapel (Site of) at Parsonage Farm, a little way north-east of the village. It isn't clear exactly where the site is supposed to be, but it's circa SS 763 240.

It isn't clear which building the label is for, but it stood a short distance south of today's gospel hall, on Village Street. It isn't obvious that anything of it survives, but its site is likely to be seen here on the left, in a Streetview from 2009. Also on Village Street was a Bible Christian Chapel, at SS 5674 2997. It stood where the cream coloured house is in this Streetview from 2009, and seems to have been active at least until 1962. Was it converted, or replaced? Both this site, and Google Maps show a Methodist Church at 5 Mount Pleasant. A 2010 Streetview shows the property at that address as a bungalow, with no signage, and there doesn't seem to be website for the church, so is this erroneous? Belong School, on Old Exeter Road, seems to have been a Methodist Church (and perhaps still is?). SS 5641 3052. © Chris Kippin (2022).

O.S. maps show immediately behind St. John St. John the Baptist's Chapel (Remains of). Its grade II listing just calls it the ruins of a medieval chapel, and its Heritage Gateway entry says the dedication is uncertain. A photo can  be seen here. A map of 1889 shows a Baptist Chapel (General) off Radway Street at SX 9114 7393. It went out of use in the first half of the last century, but a 2021 Streetview shows that it survives, converted, as Chapel Cottage. The Methodist Church (2024 Streetview) is on Fore Street at SX 9086 7382. Its webpage is no longer maintained, so it may have recently closed. Google Streetmap shows an entry for Immanuel Evangelical Chapel (2024 Streetview) at 33A Fore Street, and also says that it is "temporarily closed". A map of 1890 shows a Meeting Room (Plymouth Brethren) off the south side of Fore Street at SX 9091 7377. The building has been demolished - its site lies behind the houses seen in a Streetview from 2024. The same map also shows a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel further east along Fore Street, at SX 9105 7375. Its site, now home to a public loo (quite a rarity these days) was seen by Streetview in 2024. A little way to the N.E. of the town are the remains of St. John's Chapel. It's included in the grade II* listing for the ruins of the Bishop's Palace, at SX 9151 7435. I've been unable to find a photo that is convincingly of the chapel rather than the palace. Link1. Link2.
